Baseball's Biggest Comebacks

2004 Houston Astros

Overall Record: 92-70

First half record: 44-44

Second half record: 48-26

Lost in NL Championship Series to the St. Louis Cardinals

The Astros had two major catalysts. The first was Phil Garner replacing Jimy Williams as manager in the middle of the season. The second was acquiring centerfielder Carlos Beltran, who caught fire, hitting 23 home runs in 90 regular season games for the club. The team went an astounding 23-7 in its last 30 games. Pitchers Roy Oswalt (20-10) and Roger Clemens (18-4) were nearly as hot.
